BSBITB511

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish a network of digital devices in a workgroup context and to manage the network by keeping records, responding to problems, assisting users and providing training.

It applies to individuals employed in a range of work environments, in which they are required to apply broad knowledge of digital networks. They may be responsible for installing and maintaining the network, but they will work closely with technology professionals in all aspects of this process. In doing so, they may provide administrative support within an enterprise, or may have been delegated these responsibilities for their workgroup or organisation.
